JLG T350. Had been a Home Depot rental. A fellow bought it for putting up siding and then was moving south. I had to get a judge assign me ownership so I could get a legal title (and a license plate). $7,000.
I use it to put up windmill towers, service them, paint the barn, trim trees, Christmas lights, hang large signs on my buildings for decorations. I made up
a jib crane to plug into the boom mast instead of the basket. (Its a factory option). Mine is electric (batteries), has self leveling feature, and will not let you go where it might get tippy.
When he mentioned "cupola" I remember hoisting a heavy cupola up to the garage peak with it. The only other way I could have gotten it up there was to build it at the peak. Max load capacity 500 lbs (includes operator if they are in the basket. However, it also depends on the reach. The load cells know the footpad forces. when one or more get too light for comfort, it stops you. Includes battery charger. And, I have never run out of battery reserve. Auxillary lines for 120b, air and power washing wand up in the bucket. Can be equipped with a small generator, too.
